Top 10 tips for a summertime desk glow-up
Summer is not just about switching to sandals and heading to the beach. Your workspace deserves some sunshine too. The longer, brighter days are the perfect excuse for pops of colour, mood-boosting accessories, and a desk setup that brings a smile to your face.
Here’s how to take your desk from “meh” to “heck yes” in ten simple, summery steps:
1. Lift it up with a laptop or monitor stand
Slouching is not the one. Give your screen a little boost so it’s right at eye level. Your neck will thank you, and you’ll look way more alert on Teams calls – even if you’ve just crept back in from a sun-soaked lunch break.
2. Say bye to boring with VARICOLOR® storage
Paper clutter is an instant mood killer. These drawer boxes come in bright, cheerful colours. Organising your documents feels like flipping through a rainbow, and will give you an instant serotonin boost every time you open a drawer.
3. The only thing worth scattering is seeds in your garden
Scattered papers are so last season. Stackable letter trays keep things neat, and if you pick cheerful colours, they double as desk decor. Suddenly, Monday morning paperwork isn’t that bad.
4. Clip it, don’t tape it with DURAFIX® clips
Sticky notes that won’t stick? How rude. Tape on the wall? Yikes. These clips hold your reminders (or summer holiday pics) right where you can see them – cute, secure, and easy to swap out when you’re ready to change up the scenery.
5. Frame the summer fun with DURAFRAME® Infoframes
Pop your summer goals, a favourite quote, or a beloved piece of art into one of these sleek frames. They make it look like you have your life together (even if you’re faking it) – and they’re super easy to change when you’re in the mood for something new.
6. File in style with TREND magazine racks
Organisation, but make it cute. These colourful racks keep your files upright, tidy, and easy to grab. Because nothing says “I’ve got this” like grabbing the exact document you need without an embarrassingly frantic paper shuffle.
7. Keep those bright ideas in a TREND note box
In summer you might find you’re full of ideas at the most random times, especially on those hot, sleepless nights. Keep note paper in a bright, handy box so you can scribble your ideas down before they disappear into the summer haze.
8. Give your pens a pretty home with the TREND pen pot
Pens deserve a happy home too. A colour-coordinated pen pot keeps your faves easy to grab and stops them from playing hide-and-seek under stacks of paper.
9. Give your screen time to shine with a cleaner
Sunlight is great… until it highlights every smudge and speck of dust on your monitor. A good screen cleaner kit keeps things crystal clear for video calls, photo editing, or just admiring your carefully chosen desktop wallpaper.
10. Pick a summer colour palette and own it
Tropical brights? Pastel sorbets? Ocean blues? Pick your summer colour mood and match your desk accessories to it. It’s like an outfit for your workspace. Trust us; it really does make a difference.
Your desk should feel as fresh as a chilled lemonade and as fun as a summer playlist. With a few fun swaps and splashes of colour, you can turn your workspace into a sunny little productivity paradise.
